When I was a kid, jogging was just becoming the popular way to get into shape. Everyone was joining the craze. Companies capitalized on the popularity by creating an array of accessories to augment and facilitate the routine-from walkmans to specialized clothing. It was so popular, marketing firms used joggers in a myriad of advertisements to capture the audience's attention. Even though jogging doesn't have quite the punch and popularity of being "the" form of exercise, the advantages of starting a healthy jogging routine are still as pervasive as ever.
After reading this article, I hope that you will dust off your running shoes and break out the walkman to start your own jogging ritual that will lead to a long and healthy life.
Starting a jogging routine has numerous benefits - in fact, too many to detail in this article. If you are wanting to lose weight, jogging can be one of the best ways to achieve your goal. However, if you are obese, a jogging routine must be built up gradually. Starting a jogging regime too quickly can put too much stress on a body already carry extreme weight. However, for a long term weight loss strategy, jogging is the best routine to develop. Make sure you start slow to avoid potential injuries-perhaps working your way up from a half mile jog to a two mile stint in the park. No matter how long or short the distance, the important part is to make that step and start the routine.
Jogging is often associated with cardio and weight loss, but nothing more, this is a shame because jogging is actually good for a multitude of reasons and not just weight loss, jogging also tones up your muscles and helps your bones stay strong.
However, few people realize the hidden mental benefit that jogging provides. Study after study has proven that joggers are generally happier in life and tend to look at the glass half-full. This optimistic outlook comes from a few sources. Running a few miles leaves a jogger with a great feeling of achievement that lifts the spirits like no other exercise.
Even after running my daily one mile routine, I have a renewed sense to take on the day. If bad weather prevents me from taking to my routine, I jump of the treadmill and conquer my workout indoors. While the benefits and long term effects of jogging on the body and mind are immeasurable, make sure to speak with your physician before starting any exercise routine. Approaching jogging in a healthy and mindful way is key to your long term success!
